Hi, Karsten, looks wonderfully good to me.

Tiny, tiny typo in both the Numbering and Text nodes you have the label 'Bolt' - should of course be 'Bold'.

Another perhaps useful nod. Bottle square or round.nod
The output is five solids. I left them separate rather than using 'Union' inside the nod as I thought that the output would be slightly more convenient in that form, though I'm having second thoughts as I type this!

Below shows that sort of bottles that can be produced with the nod. It will not generate oval bottles.
NOTE that the neck is plain - required threads or bead have to be generated separately.

Hello Mike,

it looks like you're having fun:-)

and thank you for your note. I'm not a native speaker, so any improvement is welcome. Here is a corrected version.

thanks and have a nice day

Thanks for the warning, James.

Hi, guys, is there a simple way of getting the x,y,z values of the last point calculated by MathPts?

Mike.

Hi Mike,

>> x,y,z values of the last point calculated by MathPts <<

MathPts "f(uv)"input into "InPts" ArrayExt/idxSelect node
Multiply Unum X Vnum minus 1 for input into "idx" on ArrayExt/idxSelect node
then "Out" input into Points2/splitPt to get x,y,z values.

An alternative is to use ArrayExt/ArrayFlipper to idSelect with index of 0

If this does not make sense, upload your file & I modify it

Cheers
James

Thanks, James. That's certainly a more elegant method than the work around I was using.
However... right now it's not giving quite the same result. I'll try and figure out where I've gone wrong tomorrow.

Mike.

Hi Mike,

I have attached nod file showing both methods.
Red & Blue sphere are used as placeholders to
demonstrate location set by xyz of arrays last point.

basic/length node as used for point numbering above
could be used instead of math node multiplying U & V values.

James

Thanks, again.

Well, I don't know what I was doing wrong, but in the cold light of day both the array techniques you suggested now seem to work just fine.

Onwards and upwards.

Mike.

Hello Mike,

please check also the RMB on the idxSelect node - you can also Switch it to the selection of values in numarrays or geometry of objectlists.

Have a nice day

Hi all,

Loosely based on "Recreating Jean Nouvel's Louvre Abu Dhabi with Parametric Modeling"

Wow!

It's a pleasure to see the decryption of the geometry.

Thank's for sharing!

Nice interlacing!

Thanks, Karsten, for pointing that out.

Mike.

Amazing.
I won't be tackling anything like that for a very long time.

Hi All,

UPDATED: nod file attached

This is still a work in progress,
but as a teaser I have attached screen grab
of a parametric brick wall.

I'll get back to it on the weekend.

Hello All
I continue exploring the Super Forms,
after Superellipse ,
now, it's the turn of SuperToroid-
By varying some parameters we get many different
Forms, really interesting, based on possible adaptations
of the Ring or Path ,and the Circle or Profile -
How many interested people find the file:https:

Have a nice week and to all
